Description

A Dog's Life (First National, 1918). Title Lobby Card (11" X
14").
After leaving Mutual in 1917, Charlie Chaplin, by then a true
international superstar, joined First National under a deal that
gave him unprecedented production and creative control over his
films. Although the studio expected Chaplin to deliver a series of
short comedies, he took advantage of his new situation to expand
his projects to feature length for the first time in his career.
Although the First National period was brief , it was during this
time that Chaplin produced some of his best films, including
Shoulder Arms (1918), The Kid (1921), The
Pilgrim (1923), and this unforgettable classic. "The One and
Only Charles Chaplin" is featured on the this title card, rarely
seen at auction. There is light toning along the edges, and a tiny
bit of missing paper in the top left corner. Very Fine-.
